Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "Institutional Collaboration Between The Institute Pasteur Of Madagascar And The Centers For Disease Control And Prevention On Malaria And Vector Borne Diseases (U01)" is a CDC cooperative agreement designed to deepen and formalize a research and technical assistance partnership with the Institute Pasteur of Madagascar (IPM). The overall intent is to strengthen malaria and other vector borne disease work in Madagascar and, more broadly, to expand CDC's network of collaborating institutions in Africa. The emphasis is on generating practical evidence and translating it into stronger public health programming, especially in areas where malaria control efforts depend on reliable surveillance, effective vector control strategies, and clear evaluation of what is working and why.
A central theme of the announcement is alignment with major U.S. and global public health frameworks. It explicitly ties the work to Healthy People 2020 priorities around infectious disease surveillance, control, and program evaluation, and to HHS/CDC/CGH performance goals that include protecting Americans from infectious diseases while supporting ministries of health and research partners in endemic countries as part of broader public health diplomacy. The opportunity also supports malaria specific GPRA performance measures, signaling that the collaboration is expected to produce measurable outputs and outcomes that can be tracked and reported in a standardized federal performance management context.
Programmatically, the award sits within the larger global malaria landscape shaped by partnerships such as Roll Back Malaria (RBM), the U.S. President's Malaria Initiative (PMI), and the Global Health Initiative (GHI). The CDC describes its role as an RBM partner helping coordinate and evaluate malaria scale up efforts through international networks and consortia. It also underscores PMI as a major driver of U.S. foreign assistance for malaria, launched in 2005 to rapidly expand prevention and treatment interventions and reduce malaria mortality by 50 percent in 15 high burden countries in sub Saharan Africa, and later extended through FY2014 via the Lantos Hyde Act. In that context, this cooperative agreement is framed as a way to apply core GHI principles and PMI objectives at the country level by supporting country led malaria plans, strengthening health systems, improving efficiency through coordination and integration, leveraging partnerships, improving monitoring and evaluation, and encouraging research and innovation.
The technical focus areas called out in the description include research synthesis, vector control, and surveillance. In practical terms, that points to activities such as consolidating and analyzing existing evidence to inform policy and programming, strengthening entomological and epidemiological surveillance systems that can detect changes in transmission or vector behavior, and improving the design and assessment of vector control interventions. Because it is a cooperative agreement (U01), the CDC is typically expected to have substantial involvement in the work beyond simply providing funds, which often means close technical collaboration, joint planning, and shared responsibility for deliverables related to surveillance methods, evaluation approaches, and operational research priorities.
The funding details indicate this was a single award opportunity with an estimated total funding level of 3,000,000, an award ceiling of 600,000, and no cost sharing or matching requirement. The funding instrument is categorized as discretionary and the activity category as health, under CFDA number 93.283 (CDC Investigations and Technical Assistance). The solicitation was posted on Nov 16, 2010, with key dates showing an original closing date of Jan 20, 2011 and a revised closing date of Feb 4, 2011, after which it was archived on Feb 5, 2011.
Eligibility is intentionally narrow. The announcement states that the Institute Pasteur of Madagascar is uniquely qualified for the award, meaning the competition is essentially limited to IPM as the recipient organization. That restriction reflects the goal of building a specific institutional collaboration with an established in country scientific partner that has the infrastructure, expertise, and local standing to conduct malaria and vector borne disease research and to support national and regional public health priorities.

Technical access issues were routed to the CDC Procurement and Grants Office Technical Information Management Section (TIMS) at 770 488 2700.
